Welcome, Sondre. I suggest you keep loving your friends and family and 
forget about changing them. Quotes follow from a laughable little book I 
love:

" . . . when we emphasize a positive, we are at the same time creating a 
negative. When we choose an ideal of knowledge, then we must deal with 
the ignorance that is other than the knowledge . . . we tend to return 
to the vibration level where we feel stable, something we can "live 
with." It's the level of stability, the level where we feel ourselves to 
be comfortably on the same vibration with others . . . "
